The man who’ll fill your musical bill…Bill Stewart was a KLAC Los Angeles disc jockey in the 1960's. On his "Bill Stewart Show" he produced and announced more than 4,000 programs, many over AFRTS. When he was discharged from the army in November 1947 he continued his AFRTS programs while working on KLAC. His shows were heard on Armed Forces Radio Service for nearly 50 years. Stewart was born in New Brunswick, Canada. He served in the Canadian Air Force during World War II and was discharged due to a medical disability. He came to the United States and worked shortly at a radio station in Idaho until he was drafted into the U. S. Army. A longtime Burbank resident, Stewart died Feb. 26, 1993 of congestive heart failure and complications of diabetes, survived by his wife, Shirley Stewart.
